Definitions

  • the invention concerns a permanent magnet generator with reduced cogging effect comprising a stator with a plurality of stacks of tooth-shaped magnetic laminations having electric windings located radially around the rotation axis of the generator which alternate with a plurality of slots having a correspondent opening and a rotor having a plurality of permanent magnets arranged radially spaced from the rotation axis of the generator, in which said permanent magnets have skew edges.
  • the invention also relates to corresponding magnets.
  • the cogging torque (stick-slip phenomenon) is the typical braking torque which opposes the rotation of the rotors of electric permanent magnet motors (PMM) even with no load.
  • the blades begin to move with a rather high wind speed: about 4 m/s, while with a cogging torque of 1% a wind speed of 2 m/s is sufficient (the usable power varies with the cube of the wind speed).
  • Figure 1 schematically illustrates how the cogging effect works.
  • the cogging torque is caused by the interaction between the magnets mounted on the rotor R and the anisotropy of the stator due to the opening of the slots A (change in the magnetic reluctance). In fact, the highest value is found during the rotation when the magnet edge B and the slot A are facing each other, while when the magnet edge B is in the middle of the tooth D or in the middle of the slot A the cogging torque is equal to zero, as can be seen in the representation of the cogging torque C in the diagram below.
  • the arrow M shows the movement direction of the rotor R.
  • the cogging torque is due to the variation of the magnetic energy of the field generated by the magnets with the angular position of the rotor R: formally, the cogging torque is equal to the partial derivative of the coenergy with respect to the angular position.
  • cogging torque value depends on the application.
  • the cogging torque is not particularly important for electric generator units equipped with PMG (permanent magnet generators), therefore values close to 20% of the rated torque are acceptable.
  • the cogging torque is an important parameter of PMGs when used in wind generation technology: the typical reference values may range from 3% to 5% of the rated value, a value of 1% is considered extremely low for mass production wind generators.
  • the wind generators available on the market today feature a rather high cogging effect.
  • the object of the present invention is to construct a permanent magnet generator with a low cogging effect, and in particular a low power wind generator (microwind generator) with a lower cogging effect compared to generators of the known art.
  • a further object of the invention is to propose a generator in which the lower cogging effect does not result in a high power loss.
  • Another object of the invention is to construct a permanent magnet that helps to reduce the cogging effect with a limited loss of power.
  • a permanent magnet generator of the type mentioned above, where the air gap between said stacks of tooth- shaped magnetic laminations and said permanent magnets is variable, and the magnets are suited to create a variable air gap, wherein the upper side and the lower side of said magnets define an internal curved surface and an external curved surface having the same curvature direction and defining, in cross section, with respect to the height of the magnet in the direction of the rotation axis, non concentric circle arcs with different radiuses, so that the distance between the two surfaces that represents the magnet thickness is variable in said cross section, and wherein the rotor is outside the stator and the circle arc defined by the radius of the internal curved surface in said cross section, located in front of the stacks of tooth-shaped magnetic laminations, is not concentric with the circle arc defined by the radius corresponding to the cylindrical surface described by the stacks of tooth-shaped magnetic laminations.
  • variable air gap magnets means magnets that due to their specific design (size, thickness, arc configuration, ...) are suited to create a variable air gap, that is, an air gap that is not uniform during the rotation of the rotor.
  • the height coincides with the height of the magnet in the longitudinal direction.
  • the skew of the edges means, as is known in the state of the art, an inclination with respect to the vertical axis of the magnet that is parallel to the rotation axis of the generator.
  • the skew of the magnets is chosen with an angle value (in a radial direction) which ranges between a minimum corresponding to the cogging period and half of the slot pitch of the rotor.
  • the combination of variable air gap and skew magnets has significantly reduced the cogging effect.
  • the optimization of one or more parameters is added to the variable air gap and the skew magnets, including: the ratio between the number of slots and pairs of poles, the pole expansion of the magnets with respect to the pole pitch in relation to the slots/poles ratio, the value of the air gap as a function of the slot opening, as well as the stack length to reduce the cogging effect.
  • the adjustment must be a good compromise between the construction needs and the performance (power) of the generator.
  • the slots/poles (c/2p) ratio is an important parameter that enables the value of the fundamental cogging frequency to be raised as much as possible. This value corresponds to the lowest common multiple between slots and poles.
  • the pole expansion of the magnets with respect to the pole pitch can be optimally adjusted to the slots/poles ratio.
  • the value of the air gap is a parameter that can be varied depending on the opening of the slot in order to obtain a smaller variation of the magnetic reluctance when the magnet passes underneath the slot opening.
  • the choice of the opening of the slot and the width of the tooth is preferably a compromise between the cogging torque, magnetic saturation, the Carter factor, leakage inductance and an acceptable geometric dimension suited to allow the automatic winding of the stator.
  • the variability of the air gap is achieved thanks to the fact that the top and bottom sides of the magnets define a curved internal surface and a curved external surface having the same curvature direction and defining, in cross section, non concentric circle arcs with different radiuses, such that the distance between the two surfaces, representing the magnet thickness, is variable in said cross section, and thanks to the fact that the arc of a circle determined by the radius of the curved internal surface in cross section, located in front of the stacks of tooth-shaped magnetic laminations, is not concentric with the arc of a circle determined by the radius corresponding to the cylindrical surface described by the stacks of tooth-shaped magnetic laminations themselves. In this way, a variable air gap that is effective from the stand point of the reduction of the cogging effect can be easily obtained.
  • the thickness of the magnet is variable in the radial direction.
  • magnets that in cross section are midway between a “bread loaf shape that is, "D-shaped”, and a radial shape, that is, "C-shaped”.
  • the ratio between the maximum air gap ⁇ 2 at the edges of the magnet and the minimum air gap ⁇ 1 at the centre of the magnet is 3 to 1.1.
  • a very advantageous embodiment of the generator according to the invention, which enables the reduction of the cogging torque to values below 1%, is a generator having the following dimensions and size ratios:
  • the magnet thickness is constant in the middle direction of the magnet, so that the cross section follows a helicoidal path where the middle direction is defined, in a top view of the magnets, as a bisecting line parallel to the skew sides of the magnets.
  • the magnet in top view, has substantially the shape of a parallelogram.
  • the middle direction of the magnet can be defined as a segment joining the midpoints of two opposite sides and parallel to the skew sides.
  • the external curved surface is a part of a cylindrical surface and is concentric with the radius of the cylindrical surface described by the stacks of magnetic laminations, while the internal curved surface of the magnet is not cylindrical.
  • a constant thickness in the middle direction ZZ ensures a smaller cogging effect and a reduced loss of power compared to a magnet with variable thickness in its middle direction Z.
  • the magnets are defined by the fact that the maximum thickness is constant along the midline ZZ which follows a helicoidal path and decreases symmetrically towards the edges of the magnet.
  • the fact that the cross section follows a helicoidal path also means that the individual cross sectional areas which follow one another at different heights of the magnet in the helicoidal path are essentially congruent.
  • the internal curved surface and the external curved surface are parts of cylindrical surfaces and the magnet thickness varies in the middle direction of the magnet (Z), where the middle direction is defined as above.
  • the stacks of tooth- shaped magnetic laminations have shaped clefts that are opposite each other at the height of the opening of the slot extending along the full height of the tooth-shaped magnetic laminations, wherein magnetic keys, suitably shaped to close said opening of the slot, can be or are inserted in said clefts.
  • This closure system is more feasible and more effective with regard to the reduction of the cogging torque than the known method in which ferrite plates are placed directly on the windings inside the slots.
  • the shaped clefts in the stacks of magnetic laminations are not tied to generators with variable air gap and/or skew magnets. Obviously, they can also be applied to generators with straight magnets and constant air gap or generators with variable air gap and straight magnets or even generators with skew magnets and constant air gap etc.
  • the keys are made from a composite of insulating resin and iron powder.
  • the iron content is above 50%.
  • the length of the stack of magnetic laminations is variable.
  • the cogging torque like the power, varies as a function of the stack length and thus as regards the desired power there is a certain amount of cogging torque which increases as the power increases.
  • a stack length of 42 mm gives an output of 700 W in continuous service at 415 rpm with a rated torque of 16.1 Nm, and a maximum output power of about 1000W (415 rpm) with a torque of 23 Nm.
  • the cogging torque is 0.20 Nm.
  • the generator according to the invention is a wind generator, preferably with an output power between 400 W and 5 kW and a torque between 9 and 120 Nm.
  • Given powers and torques are characteristics of the generator that can be easily attained by selecting suitable construction parameters and sizes that are well known to the experts.
  • wind turbines are particularly sensitive to the cogging effect at low wind speeds.
  • NdFeB neodymium iron boron
  • Br 1.2 + 1 :35 T
  • He KA/m
  • BH max KJ/m 3
  • a low-power (1000 W), permanent magnet mini-wind turbine is obtained: at 415 rpm (with a corresponding torque of 23 Nm), with dimensions of the active parts not exceeding 170 mm in diameter and 42 mm in length, the cogging torque does not exceed 0.20 Nm (about 1% of the rated torque).
  • Another aspect of the invention also relates to a permanent magnet suited to create a variable air gap in a permanent magnet generator in which the top and the bottom sides of said magnet define a curved internal surface and a curved external surface having the same curvature direction and defining in cross section, with respect to the longitudinal height of the magnet, non-concentric circle arcs with different radiuses, so that the distance between the two surfaces that represents the thickness of the magnet varies in said cross section where said magnet has skew edges, wherein the distance between the two curved surfaces is constant along the middle direction of the magnet, so that the cross section follows a helicoidal path, or wherein the internal curved surface and the external curved surface are parts of cylindrical surfaces, and wherein the thickness of the magnet varies in the middle direction of the magnet, where the middle direction is defined, from time to time, in a top view of the magnet, as a bisecting line parallel to the skew sides of the magnet.
  • a magnet in which the internal curved surface and the external curved surface are parts of cylindrical surfaces and in which the thickness of the magnet varies in the middle direction of the magnet can be obtained by cutting a starting permanent magnet that seen from above is substantially rectangular and that is suited to create a variable air gap in a permanent magnet generator, more precisely having an internal cylindrical curved surface and an external cylindrical curved surface with the same curvature direction and different radiuses (115), so that the cut-out seen from above has substantially the shape of a parallelogram in which two parallel sides form a given angle with respect to the central axis of the starting magnet that defines its greatest thickness.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une génératrice à aimants permanents à effet de détente réduit, comprenant un stator (4) comportant une pluralité d'empilements de tôles magnétiques en forme de dent (6 ; 306) portant des enroulements électriques (10) respectifs agencés radialement autour de l'axe de rotation (8) de la génératrice, qui alternent avec une pluralité d'encoches (12 ; 312) ayant une ouverture (14 ; 314) correspondante, et un rotor (2) comportant une pluralité d'aimants permanents (16 ; 116 ; 216) agencés radialement espacés de l'axe de rotation (8) de la génératrice, les aimants permanents (16 ; 116 ; 216) ayant des bords obliques. L'entrefer (20) entre les empilements de tôles magnétiques en forme de dent (6 ; 306) et les aimants permanents (16 ; 116 ; 216) est variable ; les aimants sont des aimants à entrefer variable dans lesquels les côtés supérieur et inférieur des aimants définissent une surface courbe interne et une surface courbe externe ayant le même sens de courbure et définissant, en section transversale, par rapport à la hauteur de l'aimant dans la direction de l'axe de rotation, des arcs de cercle non concentriques ayant des rayons différents (R1, R2, R11, R12), de manière que la distance entre les deux surfaces qui représente l'épaisseur des aimants varie dans sa section transversale ; le rotor (2) se trouve à l'extérieur du stator (4) et l'arc de cercle défini par le rayon (Ri ; R1 ; R11) de la surface courbe interne en section transversale, se trouvant à l'avant des empilements de tôles magnétiques en forme de dent (6), n'est pas concentrique avec l'arc de cercle défini par le rayon (Rs) correspondant à la surface cylindrique définie par les empilements de tôles magnétiques en forme de dent (6).
